Sparc w20-575-95 has a disk in its floppy drive that is continually 
spinning very loudly. eject floppy and stop-a eject have no effect.
Rebooting has no effect (the drive begins spinning again immediately
upon startup). I can't tell for sure, but the disk may not be seated 
quite correctly in the drive.

The system is currently up -- everything else seems to be working
correctly.


Also: the mouse on Sparc w20-575-37 isn't working correctly. It will
track up and down, but won't go left and only goes right with
effort. It doesn't seem to be a contaminated roller problem; there may
be a contact problem on the left-right roller.
